WRITING TO PERSUADE: PREWRITING AND OUTLINING

Identify a debate from within your discipline. Then, write a paper in which you state and explain your position on that debate. You may choose from the following disciplines: nursing, public health, business, information technology, or psychology. You will then take your own stance within this debate and support your argument with two scholarly, peer-reviewed resources from the Capella library. You are welcome to continue on with the subject you chose for your informative essay, but work toward taking a stance on your subject—a stance that has two clear sides. You will write about your position on your subject.

You may not write about emotional subjects, such as abortion, religion, politics, gun control, or euthanasia. Compose your outline for the Persuasive Essay as your assignment for this week.

It is imperative that you identify a true two-sided topic, a topic over which educated professionals in the field reasonably disagree.

Include the following:

• Create an outline for your Persuasive Essay.
• Select a debatable topic.
• Use two scholarly library articles relevant to a chosen persuasive essay topic.
  • List the articles at the end of your outline on a separate references page
  • Credit the authors of the articles within the outline.
• Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
